Heh, in that case, here are a few things you could try - I'll write a short explanation about each book so you can see if it interests you.
The Tragedy of Man, Madách Imre. This is a play first published in 1861. Its main characters are Adam, Eve and Lucifer, and it's kind of like the Hungarian version of Paradise Lost. In this play, though Lucifer is not seeking power, he is only trying to prove that everything God did was a failure. The play has 15 scenes, each of them in different time and political settings (Heaven, Garden of Eden, Beginning of Time, Egypt c 2650 BC, Athens 489 BC, Rome c AD 67, Prague c AD 1615, Paris AD 1793, London 19th century, a communist/technocratic future, space, an ice age in the future and once again outside Eden, with the Prague scene repeating after Paris.
Eclipse of the Crescent Moon, Gárdonyi Géza. A historical novel published in 1899, set in the first half of the 16th century. It's mainly about the occupation of Buda, the seat of the Hungarian Kings in 1541 and the Siege of Eger in 1552 by the Turks. It also addressed topics like reformation, discord between the Hungarians and the Holy Roman Emperor, mercy, filial and marital love, friendship, trust and truthfulness.
Technicolor Time Machine, Harry Harrison. A bunch of people want to make a movie about the Vikings, and in an attempt to not pay for costumes, scenery, props or actors they travel back in time to 1050 A.D. It has a twist ending which is pretty damn fun
St. Peter's Umbrella, Mikszáth Kálmán, published in 1895. It's mainly about the rural life of the peasantry in an undeveloped part of Upper Hungary.
The Pendragon Legend, Szerb Antal, published in 1934. It's a philosophical thriller/comedy/murder-mystery/ghost story set in London and Wales.
Abigail, Szabó Magda, published in 1970. It starts out like a book for little girls, but it turns serious as you realize that it's set in WW2. It's about a girl who is placed in a school for girls where she has to grow up to be a responsible adult in a very short time so she could save her father's life.
The Paul Street Boys, Molnár Ferenc, a "war" between two groups of Hungarian boys who live in Budapest for the place they use as a playground. It's probably the best Hungarian book out there, read and loved by every single person (it's kind of the "rule breaker" between Hungarian kids who don't like to read- they generally read it and like it anyway).
The Heartless Man's Sons, Jókai Mór, published in 1869. It's about the 1848-49 Hungarian revolution.
The Man with the Golden Touch, Jókai Mór, published in 1872. It's about searching for happiness, and it sets romanticism and realism against each other.
